Ingredients
- White fish fillets
- 1 pound (such as cod or haddock)
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
- Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
- Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon
- Mayonnaise

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the white fish fillets on it. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, use a fork to mash the cooked fish until it is flaky but not pureed. Alternatively, pulse in a food processor for a smoother consistency.

- Toast the rye bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until crispy and golden brown.
- Spread a generous amount of the mashed fish mixture onto each slice of toasted rye bread.
- Garnish each slice with freshly chopped dill for an added touch of color and flavor.
- Serve immediately while the bread is still warm, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the fish mixture.
- You can substitute the white fish with smoked salmon for a different taste profile.
- This dish pairs beautifully with a light salad or pickled vegetables for a refreshing contrast.
